Step by step
- 01
Write naturally
Use the pen and signature style you normally use. Dark black or blue ink on plain white paper gives the cleanup tool the clearest edge.

Scan, then inspect
In Signatures, add a new signature and use Scan. Compare Before and After, then adjust Paper Cleanup or Ink Strength if a stroke looks faint.

Name and save it
Give the signature a clear name. It stays in your signature library for the next document.

Place it on the PDF
Open the PDF, tap Sign, choose the saved signature, then drag and pinch until it sits naturally on the line.

A cleaner capture
- Avoid lined paper, heavy shadows, and a pen color close to the paper color.
- Do not crop through the first or last stroke.
- Resize down rather than stretching a low-resolution signature up.
Questions
Do I have to draw on the iPhone screen?
No. The Scan mode is designed to capture the signature you write on paper. Drawing on screen is an optional second method.
Can I save more than one signature?
Yes. The app supports multiple named signatures in its signature library.
